MOORESVILLE, NC (Tuesday, August 09, 2005) - Biagi Bros. Racing is pleased to announce that road race ace, Scott Pruett, will drive the No. 4 GEICO/Sport Clips Dodge on Saturday as the NASCAR Busch Series returns to the 2.45-mile road course of Watkins Glen International Raceway for the first time since 2001. Pruett will lend his expertise to the Biagi Bros. race team in collaboration with Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.

“We’re really excited to have Scott Pruett driving for us at Watkins Glen,” said car owner, Fred Biagi. “He is an accomplished road course racer and has many years of racing under his belt. His experience and talent on road courses will definitely benefit our team. We are looking forward to contending for the win on Saturday!”
